Professor Wendy Savage, of the British Medical Association, reckons that "...
if a woman does not want to have a foetus who is one sex or the
other, forcing her (to go through with the pregnancy) is not going to be
good for the eventual child, and it's not going to be good for (the
mother's) mental health." (Story here.)
What's this? "[O]ne sex or the
other"? As we all know, there are many more than two sexes! And, furthermore, we now know that one's sex isn't settled until, well, ever.
And yet Professor Savage is angry that "... some places won't tell the woman the sex of the foetus, which is outrageous."
Maybe they're unwilling to assign sexes to babies based on antediluvian pseudoscience about anatomy.
Prospective parents who still, in 2017, follow such outdated opinions, should realise that a baby's physical characteristics no longer have the last word on what it will be.
Only after the child has made its selection should the parents consider termination...
